address creation form and state field

[stratboy]

Hi, in the address page, I activated 2 countries: italy and france. If I select france, the state field will disappear. But then if I send the form, I'll get an error stating that the state field is required.

 

How can I fix the problem?

open localization > countries tab in your back office

can you check this option:

 

if you disable it, problem still occur?

Yes, got the same problem.

 

The javascript,  on country change, checks if there are states of that country. If there aren't, it hides the relevant select. Formerly, that's just right. What's not right are 2 things:

 

1. IF for that country, for prestashop and curriers in general, state selection IS required, than javascript should always find the relevant states.

 

2. IF there's a possibility that states are not found, despite the fact that for curriers they are required, than at least state selection should not be required.

 

I also tried to 'Import Localization Pack' for france. The system says it's imported. Though, javascript doesn't find any france state.

...And there's at least another topic about my issue:

http://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/214788-localization-and-provincestate-issue/

maybe it's fixed in 1.5.5.0, but... 1.5.5.0 is bugged for other things.....

what the hell.....

I posted an issue on the tracker. But I also found a quite simple thing: there are no states in the france pack:

https://github.com/PrestaShop/PrestaShop/blob/development/localization/fr.xml

so simply they cannot be imported. But, why the hell?

Is maybe that states aren't usually required in french addresses? If so, why javascript still require them?

Hi

 

Go countries/France and tick no to "that counrty has states"

 

Il faut aller à Pays/France et cocher non à "ce pays contient des états/régions".

 

Hope this help

 

 

Oops,

Sorry didn't realize the solution was already proposed. It did work for me actually.
